Genesis 12:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 12:6

4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and ^athe people whom they had acquired in ^bHaran, and they ^cdeparted to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.

6 Abram ^apassed through the land to the place of Shechem, ^bas far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. ^cAnd the Canaanites were then in the land.

7 ^aThen the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ^b“To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an ^caltar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and ^acalled on the name of the Lord.

9 So Abram journeyed, ^agoing on still toward the South.
